Going to the DRA is a nonsense. Someone needs to explain to Davis that the rules are quite clear. You cannot appeal a grading. Whatever technicality they appealed on does not alter that substantive issue. Absolute balderdash holding everything up like this.

Hasn’t delayed anything, has it? First league games going ahead as scheduled this weekend, absolutely no impact on them.

As I said before, the method used by the DCB to do the grading was nonsense, and win or lose I don’t begrudge TD highlighting the DCB’s nonsense. How some supposedly intelligent individuals could stand over the result of their “scientific” grading system, and not go “Ah hold on, this is nonsense, we need to re-think”, I don’t know.

Exactly, one look at the “1” championship showing a division 3 team and a quick look at the “2” championship showing a division 1 finalist should have set the alarm bells ringing that the system used was flawed

There are teams who perform well in leagues who can’t do it in championship. So if you haven’t performed in championship on the pitch you only have yourself to blame. My own club are now in B for 2018. We can have no complaints as we didn’t do anything of note for the last three years in championship despite doing well in the league.

Doesn’t matter how nonsensical it was. It is their absolute right to do so. TD know this. And if they don’t they need to get someone who knows the rule book to explain it to them.

Like the people in Leinster who upheld there appeal?
Easy to pontificate when your club is safe . I admire them for fighting .
Would if it had of been done 20 years ago and possible vins missed out on a champ would the attitude be the same .

Yes it would be the same. Going to the DRA over grading is ridiculous. The rule book couldn’t be any more clear on the fact that you cannot appeal a grading. I e no idea what Leinster upheld. Could have been a technicality. Could have been a clueless committee. Either way gradings are not appealable. TD wasting time, and money now.
